I apologize. I was not meant to be a mommy blogger if you haven't noticed already. I take pictures every once in awhile when I can grab my husband's phone due to mine having everything in the world wrong with it. I really don't document much....at all really. I've never owned a baby book. I'm still not exactly sure how much Tucker weighed at birth. If you ask me when I started feeling the twins kick I will most likely say it was between 13 and 20 weeks or I will make something up.

However, I cherish every milestone and live in the moment.

Here's what I do know. We are having twin BOYS. :) As I said before, our prayer was for God to take this and let it be His. I didn't even want to think about what I wanted or what I thought would be best or worst for us. I was excited to see what he thought was best. Our Lord gives and takes away. It's painful, it's beautiful, and it's confusing, but blessed be His name.

Our little boys are thriving. They are considered mono-di, but are growing as if they are di-di. They are identical in size and always measuring a little ahead. So far, the pregnancy has gone perfect. They move around all the time and my stomach is expanding at an alarming rate. Which is concerning when I start thinking about how this is going to be humanly possible.

I find myself praying for them numerous times a day. Not out of panic or worry, but acceptance that they are His...not mine. I love them so much and stare at their pictures thinking about their innocence to this world and the pain that comes with living in this world. I pray that their lives would be used to reveal His glory...just like their big brother's life was used.

They have no idea the impact their lives have already had through God using them to reveal himself.

These two pictures are at 18 weeks. Disregard the disgusting mirror please. We don't clean the bottom half because Tucker's nose and hand prints are still on it. I'm not sure what our excuse is for the top half.

This one is at 21 weeks

And here are the two little blessings themselves. :)

And this is what welcomed me on my way home from work the other day. I love it when this happens.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to pray for us. Nothing has gone unnoticed. Everything has been read and reread and brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if I will ever be able to express my gratitude the extent that I long to on this side of heaven.
